The
benefits of a comprehensive fire department training program are
clearly visible at any emergency scene. The types of classes, amount
of time dedicated to training, and the quality of the curriculum is
directly proportional to operational effectiveness. Classroom and
hands-on training sessions cover a variety of topics including fire
suppression, emergency medicine, hazardous materials response,
confined space rescue, vehicle extrication, emergency response
equipment operation, counter terrorism and other related topics.
The
Orono Fire Department continues to focus on the current and evolving
missions of the fire service. Customer expectations, technological
advancements, and the changing scope of the emergency services field
are providing the driving force behind our training programs. The
Orono Fire Department continues to be a progressive training entity
which allows us to respond to the current and future needs of all the
citizens in the community. When we are needed, the residents of Orono
can be certain that professional, competent, and well trained
firefighters and EMT's will be responding to help solve their
